Lagoons/Good News!

We went to the lagoons at Ko'Olina today. Mom loved it, the water was colder than at Bellow's first of all. Also, as I said back when Aunt Rachel and grandma went with me, there are almost no waves. You can relax more there because you aren't having to fight the larger waves. Another thing that is great about the lagoons is that the grass is landscaped around the beach so you can set your stuff up among the palm trees and not have to worry about getting sand all over everything. We swam until the sun started going down, then we changed and walked down the shore to the lava rocks. I like that area because you can see the sunset perfectly and there are mini pond type things in the lava rocks that you can see fish swimming in and all kinds of stuff. Its like little environments all throughout the shore. You have to be careful not to slip into them though. After this we were hungry so we went to Taco Del Mar, which is like a create your own taco/burrito place. It was great then we went to Wal-Mart of course! We were only there a little bit then we came home! Tomorrow we are headed to Dave and Buster's. Bad news: Mom found out today that she can't extend her plane ticket so.....we are full speed ahead until she leaves. We were really hoping that she could extend it but it is going to cost waaaay to much. Never fly ATA!! Good news: Jeremy found out that he will be headed here October 4th instead of 7th!!! We are so excited! Because he is the armor for his troop (Bravo Troop) he gets to come in a couple of days early and get set up. He is in charge of ALL the weapons for his entire troop so he needed to get back before all the other guys. That was great news but we hate it that mom won't be here for his arrival. We were all 3 really looking forward to it. Plus, we were going to swim with the dolphins together, etc. Now we can't so mom said for me to wait and do that with Jeremy. ( I won the free Dolphin Adventure through Sealife Park at the luau so we were trying to decide when to go. Mom and Jeremy both wanted to go so we were waiting on him). That is all the news I have so far anyway. Here are some more pics from our day. Ko'Olina is on the west side (Leeward) of Oahu.

We were exploring and I was on the phone with Jeremy almost the whole time.
